Let me introduce to you Clever Charlotte (love the name btw). Their designs are meant to be playful and sophisticated at the same time. They are suitable for everyday activities as well as special occasions. But what makes Clever Charlotte so special is that they offer sewing 'kits' designed to take the guess work and foot work out of sewing.

Today Clever Charlotte is offering 2 different patterns to two separate readers. See contest rules at bottom of post.

Clever Charlotte is born out of a love of children’s wear with clean, modern designs and a love of beautiful fabric. They want to inspire today’s sewers to create perfectly-styled handmade looks for their wee ones that are sure to bring compliments. This inspiration comes not only from their original sewing patterns, but also the array of fabrics and notions that they carry especially for their designs.

For inspiration, their online gallery will feature more design ideas and styling options for each pattern.

Purchased together with our fabrics or separately, Clever Charlotte’s original patterns will let you make trendy and unique clothes without paying boutique prices. Clever Charlotte represents modern tastes. They strive to produce fashions that are rich in detail and, yet, easy to make. Their patterns cover sizes 2T-8 and are printed in full-scale on heavy tracing paper so that you can use and reuse them as many times as you wish.

Though they’ve written the accompanying instructions to guide beginner sewers, Clever Charlotte’s designs are sophisticated so that even the most skilled sewer will find them fun and satisfying to sew. Each pattern includes an exclusive Clever Charlotte clothing label for sewing into your creations so that you can take pride in your garment. (Additional labels will be available for sale in their shop.)

Take the second guessing out of buying fabric online. To make your sewing experience fun, streamlined and immediately rewarding, Clever Charlotte offers a one-stop source for fabrics and notions suitable for their patterns and showcased on their website.

Prompted by their own frustrations of buying fabrics online for sewing projects, often from multiple sites to find the right fabric in terms of weight and color, they wanted to offer sewers the opportunity to order fabrics that are perfect for their patterns. They have taken the hard work out of selecting fabrics by presenting coordinating seasonal fabric collections that are complementary to their patterns. Their fabric selections emphasize stylish, quality apparel fabrics that are easy to sew, easy to care for, and comfortable to wear.

At your option, they will be offering sewing kits to be delivered to your door with everything you need to get started sewing the minute you open the package. You choose the fabrics and any special styling options, and they’ll send the fabric and notions off to you with quick, reliable shipping at one low-price.

Oh, love the idea! I would love to be able to buy the correct fabric with the pattern. Very clever! I'd have to choose the finch top and shorts. My little girl would be adorable in that. I have been following you for a while now. Thanks for an awesome giveaway! aliben7 (at) gmail (dot) com

Found your blog by happenstance tonight and fell in love. I liked on FB and pinned to my sewing ideas board. I would love to sew the Starling pattern. Not only is it cute, Starling is my mama's maiden name - not one you see often
